Full-Moon Pumpkin Cheesecake

The cheesecake is the eerie background behind a chocolate fudge broomstick flying witch. Other possibilities are a fence with a cat against the Halloween moon or turn the pumpkin cheesecake into a pumpkin with a spooky face. Leave off the witch and serve the Pumpkin Cheesecake for Thanksgiving. Delicious!

Prepare Black Cat Fudge; do not cut. Using your own witch diagram as guide, cut out witch shape. Using knife, score to add details on broom, hat, etc. Cut small star shapes from scraps with cutter or sharp knife.

Remove side of pan; place cheesecake on serving plate. With wide metal spatula, carefully position witch on cheesecake. Position stars.
